+## Dual Output Workflow
+
+For maximum flexibility, generate both formats:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate Beamer PDF (polished, typeset)
+latexmk -pdf slides.tex
+
+# 2. Generate PPTX (editable, last-minute changes)
+python3 generate_slides.py --title "Paper Title" --venue OSDI --type oral
+
+# 3. Review both outputs
+open slides.pdf talk.pptx
+```
+
+**When to use which**:
+- **Beamer PDF**: Final polished version for presentation day
+- **PPTX**: Working draft for co-author review, or when venue provides a template
+
+---
+
+## Figure Handling
+
+### In Beamer
+```latex
+\graphicspath{{figures/}{../paper/figures/}}
+
+% Reuse figures from the paper directory
+\begin{frame}{Main Results}
+  \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{eval-throughput.pdf}
+\end{frame}
+```
+
+### In python-pptx
+```python
+from pptx.util import Inches
+
+slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[5])  # Blank
+slide.shapes.add_picture(
+    "figures/eval-throughput.png",
+    left=Inches(1), top=Inches(1.5),
+    width=Inches(11), height=Inches(5)
+)
+```
+
+**Tip**: Convert PDF figures to high-resolution PNG for PPTX:
+```bash
+# Using poppler-utils
+pdftoppm -png -r 300 figures/eval-throughput.pdf figures/eval-throughput
+```
